Chapter 723: Im's Fiery Gaze!
Philosopher's Stone.
A legendary Treasure found throughout the Myriad Worlds, it is the highest Treasure in the Alchemy Domain and a top-tier Material countless Alchemists dream of.
Besides this Name, it also has many other appellations.
Such as Red Elixir, Philosopher's Stone, Heavenly Stone, Great Alchemy Elixir, Ultimate Crimson Substance, and is even called the Fifth Entity.
According to the Historical Records of the Alchemy Kingdom over the past thousand years.
This is an Alchemy amplifier that can ignore the "Principle of Equivalent Exchange" and Transmutation any Substance.
Or rather.
It can replace the Price that Alchemists originally need to Pay, completing any Transaction with the 'Gate of Truth', including Taboos.
As for the Manufacturing Method of the Philosopher's Stone.
The Historical Records only state "Three Unknowns", which are: unknowable, cannot be known, and need not be known.
"Heh heh."
Im was amused by the related explanation of the 'Philosopher's Stone' attached by the Alchemy Kingdom. If the Manufacturing Method is unknown, then how did this one come about?
Also, he didn't believe that the Alchemy Kingdom, with its thousand-year Foundation, would only possess this single 'Philosopher's Stone'.
If that were the case.
It would be impossible to hand over the only 'Philosopher's Stone' to the World Government so easily.
In fact, this Matter originated from Im.
He had previously thought of the Alchemy Kingdom possessing the 'Philosopher's Stone', so he requested the Five Elders to issue an Order through the World Government for them to hand over a few for Research.
However, at that time, he only wanted some Gravel and truly didn't expect to receive a complete, whole piece like this.
That makes it worth pondering.
Did the Alchemy Kingdom reluctantly hand over their only 'Philosopher's Stone' because they feared the World Government?
Or do they have quite a few in their hands, so they simply took out one piece to appease the World Government, and incidentally waive their Heavenly Tribute for ten years?
But no matter what.
He had indeed obtained a 'Philosopher's Stone' now, so he would first see how useful this thing truly was before considering his Attitude towards the Alchemy Kingdom.
Im narrowed his Eyes, staring at the flawless 'Ruby' in the box, while his mind rapidly recalled various information related to it.
He remembered a detailed description in a certain Japanese Anime/Manga Works from his Previous Life that specifically focused on Alchemy.
"This thing seems to be able to achieve perfect Effect with 'Human Transmutation', which is to Manufacture Life with true self-Soul, or true Resurrection..."
Im pondered inwardly.
How about.
Try resurrecting Byrnndi World, who died in the Titan World?
Hahahaha!
How could that be~~
His Head must be rusted if he were to do such a foolish thing.
"Right!"
Suddenly, a Flash of Inspiration struck Im's mind. Since this 'Philosopher's Stone' is said to be able to Transmutation any Substance, can it Manufacture Devil Fruit?
Animal System and Paramecia System are naturally unnecessary, but Logia System Devil Fruit are something even Vegapunk stated he couldn't replicate.
"But wouldn't using the 'Philosopher's Stone' to Manufacture Devil Fruit be a bit too extravagant?"
Im fell into hesitation.
He vaguely felt it was better to keep it for now; perhaps it would have great use in the Future.
But the problem is, if he doesn't use it once first, how will he know the specific Effect of the 'Philosopher's Stone'?
Maybe the Legend is just Boasting!
How about asking the Alchemy Kingdom to send another one?
Im immediately dismissed this Idea. After all, they have Affiliation with the World Government; he shouldn't coerce them like this. It's quite good to receive a complete 'Philosopher's Stone' every ten years from now on.
"Right, I remember Dorothea from The Empire has a Philosopher's Stone in her hand. Although it's just a small piece of Gravel, it should still be enough to see the Effect..."
But the problem is, how to get it?
She is already an Intermediate Researcher at the Biochemical Research Institute. Directly ordering her to hand it over doesn't seem quite Appropriate.
"Stussy."
Im had an Idea in his Heart. Stussy replied respectfully.
"Dorothea from the Biochemical Research Institute is hiding a small piece of 'Philosopher's Stone'. Have someone ask her what the World Government can exchange for it, according to the 'Principle of Equivalent Exchange'."
His Idea was that he didn't want to forcibly seize it, but could exchange for it according to the Alchemists' Rules.
He also believed the other party was a smart person and wouldn't dare to ask for an exorbitant price.
"Yes!"
Stussy nodded after hearing this, but just as she was about to turn and leave, she suddenly heard Lord Imu ask her, "Right, how have you mastered the Imperial Arms I gave you? Has it acknowledged you?"
Is he caring about me?
A strong Delight instantly surged in Stussy's Heart, but on the surface, she maintained a gentle, sweet Smile, while also partially revealing the two Fangs in her mouth.
"It seems to like me very much. Not long after putting it on, I mastered its 'Profound Secret Technique'. Please see..."
As soon as her voice fell, she raised her fair and smooth slender Palm.
Soon.
Im saw wisps of Blood Mist drifting from the surface of Stussy's Palm, then gathering above her Palm to form a slowly rotating mass of Blood.
"Blood Control?"
"Yes, it allows me to freely control the Blood inside my body. For example, like this..."
The next moment, the mass of Blood quickly flowed, then formed a scarlet Demonic Longsword in Stussy's Palm, which seemed to have crystallized.
"It's just that I don't particularly like using Blades, so if I encounter a Combat Situation, I'll probably turn them into Sharp Claws?"
After speaking, Stussy casually turned the Long Sword back into flowing Blood and withdrew it back into her body through her Palm.
"Right, it can also turn into this, allowing me to fly without using Moonwalk~"
Immediately, Im saw a large amount of Blood Mist surge from behind her, forming a pair of Blood-Red Bat Wings in the blink of an eye, and she flew up by gently flapping them.
This was only possible because his Study Room was large enough and high enough.
"It's exactly like the legendary Vampire. Not bad..."
Im gave a simple evaluation, but in his Heart, he was thinking, "It seems that in the Akame ga Kill Original Work, Dorothea didn't receive recognition from this Imperial Arms."
That's right, recovering from Injuries and enhancing Physical Ability after sucking Blood is hardly a Secret Technique.
However, he was very curious why this Imperial Arms called 'Blood Collection' liked Stussy so much?
Speaking of which.
Since these Imperial Arms are willing to acknowledge people from the Non-Imperial Arms World, can he also arrange for these Imperial Arms to meet the people under him?
Perhaps they can form a few pairs~
"I think I mentioned to the Five Elders before that I hoped the World could have a true Angel Race. So, can I also find a way to get a Blood Race?"
Im had always been very interested in this kind of Matter.
He always hoped that his World could become more and more lively, even if this liveliness might bring certain Danger and Sacrifice to many Commoners.
"Oh, right!"
"Let those Super Dangerous Beasts move to the World to live! That should be very interesting!"
This Idea made Im's Eyes light up. As long as they are on the World, he can observe them with 'Star Fate' anytime~~
"Stussy!"
"Uh, yes, what is it?"
Stussy tilted her Head in Doubt, while flapping her blood wings and slowly descending back to the Ground. She felt that Lord Imu's Gaze now was much more fiery compared to his usual indifference.
Could it be...
The Women's Heart instantly pounded. Could it be that Lord Imu likes her in this appearance?
